I have a need to periodically extract a certificate from another automated process and not being a Windows programmer (I work in a different programming discipline) I find that a command line 'openssl s_client -connect "uri.com:443" > cert.txt' does exactly what I need it to do.
In AIX (our preferred version of Unix) this executes and returns to the command line in less than 1 second. In Windows however, this executes, whites out the text file in under a second but the "openssl" command itself does not return to the command line for another 28 to 30 seconds. Since we are operating synchronously, this imposes a significant delay on our processing______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
